Before we signed Johnson you heard a lot of people say he was temperamental and didn't always play hard. I have to admit there were a couple of games that it appeared to me he ran very hard and very well. Which made me wonder if he sometimes decides to play hard and sometimes not. Hard for us to know.

Lets not be too hasty to rule out keeping CJ. The guy never misses a game, his YPC isn't bad at 4+. If he was used correctly with a better QB he may have had Tomlinson type numbers. And he's not costing $5+ million; only the difference between the cap hit for cutting and keeping him. It was sick to see him used where Ivory was the man, over and over again and visa versa. I liked Spiller, but the difference is CJ is game ready every game. He still has something to prove and used properly can put up LT numbers with an improved OLine through the draft and better coaching and play calling. Who else is available? A crapshoot draftee. No thanks - pick a 6th rounder for that and keep the stud with the speed and ability to still break a big gain. Give him the 3rd down role and stick with it so the dude knows what to focus on.

Not sure that's the debate, though. It's more a question of is CJ worth $5M per, and can he be upgraded any number of ways, either through FAcy or the draft? Powell is a decent lunch-pail type third back who can run, catch and block a little. He provides some insurance and depth, and he doesn't cost much. He's not starter quality, nor is he a comparable replacement for CJ. He's kind of a separate discussion unto himself.

I'd cut CJ because he's too 1 dimensional. He isn't good enough as a blocker or receiver, & is trending downward on the frequency of big plays over the past few years. There are too many 2 yard runs & not enough big plays imo.

I'd like to see them draft a RB that can catch the ball & contribute on punt or kick returns.

Also had a five team accumulator with five away wins and I got the other four right. Naturally I backed Spurs to lose so this result screwed me over. Was going to donate the winnings to my hair campaign.

@joemustgo@Pablo Bruno Considering that we had a brutal schedule, played from behind a lot, didn't have a stellar oline and Ds were stacking the box and the bum play calling, how much could one expect from CJ? Admittedly, he played below our high expectations, but he wasn't the only one. All these troubles should be rectified this year when he has more playmakers around him to divert some of the attention away from our running game. I want the experienced guys who know how to make big plays and have done it before. I also get he's aging, but that's my take and hope the new coaches see it the same way. We saved money before on "bargain" players and how did that work out?, but now we don't need to bargain hunt nearly as much. Let a 5th round RB with upside learn from Ivory and CJ. Save an earlier RB pick to be used on the oline. Enough on CJ from here..

Yeah...the number of guys we coulda woulda shoulda had last draft can give you nightmares. Let's be thankful Idzik isn't still here to screw up another draft and FAcy. Very much looking forward to seeing the moves the new regime makes.

@williamg1@Hoz@a57se oh ok,i read a article on the bleacher report on how the jets can have even more salary cap space and releasing johnson & harvin also restructing d'brick we had around 60 mil to spend.
